So I am 6 months pregnant today, for some reason it comes as a shock to me. So far the months have just ticked along and I haven't really thought about it. My pregnancy with Boo felt like it took forever for some reason. And now here I am the second time around and its flying by so fast I can't even keep up! I know I say I can't wait to meet Munchkin and it's the truth, but I would like to enjoy my pregnancy for a little while longer. It feels like everything just hit overdrive and is going so quickly. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to have made it to 6 months pregnant. I'm so grateful that everything has gone smoothly so far and (knock on wood) we've had no problems. Its been a breeze so far minus some pregnancy symptoms. But nothing out of the ordinary, just the same old same old. Its great and I just want it to slow down a little. I'm sure taking care of a 3 year old has a lot to do with why it feels like this is going so fast. Before I had nothing else to do but be pregnant. Boo was my first so there was nothing to do but enjoy being pregnant. It was the only thing on my mind 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Being pregnant, having a baby, preparing for a baby, it was all swirling around in my head. This time around I have a million other things going on besides just being 6 months pregnant. I have a toddler to take care of, a house to clean, pets to feed. Its just one thing after another and before I know it another week has passed and I'm that much closer to finally seeing and holding Munchkin and Boo being an officially big sister. It's a little weird being pregnant for a second time, my two pregnancies were so different and I can't get over it. I'm not going to lie, the first time was definitely a little easier. If I was tired I slept, hungry I ate, if I wanted to lay in bed all day it wasn't a problem. Having a toddler now makes things more complicated for sure, but its so amazing at the same time. Sometimes I think Boo is the one who's the most excited about the new baby coming. She asks about her sister every day. She tries to play toys with her, tries to give her food, it's the cutest thing in the world. And that part makes this pregnancy a lot more fun then my first. Before all I could do was imagine what it would be like to raise a child, now I know, and I also know I'll have the best little helper around. Its so weird to think I'm officially over the hump. The halfway point is over and I'm now in the SECOND half of my pregnancy, its crazy. But I couldn't be happier and I'm so excited to have two little girls and to watch Boo be a big sister. I know she'll be great, so being on months 7, 8 and 9, I'm so ready!!
